Hit the dogs, find the owner of dogs, make owner pay out the *** in repairs. I never swerve to miss anything unless its a cow, those or no jokes.

Sorry to hear about your mishap.
Like Scooch said, it really was just a natural reaction. there was not a single soul in sight anywhere around me, i go to change the radio station, then my brother gasps and puts his arm out like were about to hit something, i look up and saw the two dogs. and my first reaction was just to swerve. i literally didnt have time to think.

As Ive gotten older I have seen the results of swerving, and sometimes it can be deadly for you and others around you. Best advice I ever give anybody is dont "swerve".... "Duck", especially in a car with the nose built like your Camaro. Ive seen Dogs, Cows, and more often around here... Deer come over the hood and right through the windshield. Glad you didnt get hurt, sorry about your Camaro.
its crazy because im not one to swerve like that. ive plowed over a cat before in almost the same scenario. ill swerve over when i know i have enough time. and thanks, im glad me and my brother are okay too. and as for the camaro, i dont know what im going to do to fix it.

i really shouldve hit them ****ing dogs dude. it makes me mad thinking about it. but like when i saw them, they both looked like the same breed, but one was bigger, and another one was smaller trailing behind it, almost like a pup. i hate killing animals so i swerved and ended up blasting the pup anyways. it even left a dent on my passenger side of the bumper lol.

From what I understand, large household appliances are in rut this time of year. Be on the lookout

In Indy, we have a 'leash law'. Your mutt gets loose, and you are responsible for the damage they cause.

Lol. Well. All joking aside, what would be the best way to repair that quarter panel? Or do you guys think there isn't any hope? I've been told to cut away a big portion of the panel and cut away the same part from a donor car, then weld it on.

It could've been anyone's dog. I have no idea how I would be able to find out who's dog it was
